Red palm weevil is attracted to damaged and undamaged trees, and the severity of damage increased because the RPW-males produce an aggregation pheromone that attracts the female weevil on the infested palms (Gunawardena and Bandarage, 1995), resulting in tree death due to the larval and adult feeding inside the tree trunk; larvae can feed only in soft tissues, such as the palm crown, the top of the trunk and the bases of the petioles (Abraham et al., 1998).	cache/binhm-472.pdf	txt/binhm-472.txt
